Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology is a field in which imaging (x-ray fluoroscopy, CT, and ultrasound) is used to guide minimally invasive procedures that treat a range of conditions, from cancer to vascular disease.

As pioneers of angioplasty, catheters and stents, interventional radiologists have developed many new treatments for essentially every organ system in the body over the last 50 years. Today, many conditions that once required open surgery can be treated less invasively by interventional radiologists.

The VenaSeal™ closure system is the only non-tumescent, non-thermal, non-sclerosant procedure that uses a proprietary medical adhesive delivered endovenously to close the vein. This unique approach eliminates the risk of nerve injury when treating the small saphenous vein, which is a risk sometimes associated with certain thermal-based procedures. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the procedure is safe and effective. The procedure is administered without the use of tumescent anesthesia, avoiding patient discomfort associated with multiple needle sticks.
